DA G3 Munitions Mission Serve as ARSTAF focal point for integrating munitions management. Where do we focus? Determine t i ALL munitions requirements Sustain the warfight Operationalize munitions issues and recommend priorities Coordinate munitions resourcing strategy Synchronize munitions policy Oversee Army weapons training program Monitor munitions and industrial base readiness Critical Tasks: Maintain Policy: DA PAM 350-38 (Standards in Training Commission, Jul 08) and AR 5-13 (Training i Ammunition Management, Mar 05) Develop the Total Army Munitions Requirements (TAMR), to include war reserve, operational, training and testing requirements Authorize available operational and training munitions IAW G-3/5/7 priorities (Total Army Ammunition Authorization and Allocation Conference TA4C)

Munitions Requirements Process (MRP) DoD Instruction 3000.4, Munitions Requirements Process (MRP), directs all Services to develop munitions requirements biennially. The MRP is a deliberate planning process that supports long-range POM planning and investments. As part of the deliberate planning process, we use the Quantitative War Reserve Requirements for Munitions (QWARRM) process to develop War Reserve / Operational requirements. The Center for Army Analysis (CAA) conducts theater-level t l modeling based on input from multiple sources including: Strategic Planning Guidance Approved / projected munitions COCOM OPLANS Munitions caps DIA Threat reports Approved Combat Loads (CL) Projected Force Structure Munitions / system performance data Training i and test t requirements are developed d separately from the QWARRM process.

Ongoing Actions/Initiatives Sustain the Warfight - Transition between AOs Changes in forces, and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) - New Munitions (UMR/FMR) improved capabilities or ONS (eg. TOW, Spider, 5.56 LFS) - Phase IV Ops and Persistent Conflict requires unique mix of munitions (demo, precision, non-lethal, etc) Manage Army Munitions Requirements and Prioritization - Balance of Precision i and Conventional Munitions affordability/capability - Integrating Capabilities verse Unnecessary Redundancy Deployment of Force? - Operational Needs Statements Capability exist, Delivery timeframe, Enduring? - Training Strategies - Evolving TTPs, Munitions Growth Cluster Munitions Dynamic - Distinction between Oslo Accord and OSD Policy - Joint Staff and TRADOC Ongoing Studies - Balance between Precision and Area targets FY12-17 POM / TAMR - QWARRM is our war reserve munitions requirements development process - Developed IAW Department of Defense Instruction 3000.4, Munitions Requirement Process (MRP) - OSD AT&L Implementation Guidance dictates Defense Planning Scenarios for use in MRP - Training Ammunition requirements developed IAW STRAC and TRADOC POI s
